Abstract
I2/CAN has emerged as a powerful and efficient oxidizing agent for direct tertiary CH oxidation of 3,3′-(phenyl methylene) bis(N-methyl-7-azaindole) under mild conditions to form bis(N-methyl-7-azaindol-3-yl) (phenyl)methanol in quantitative yield. Further, based on control experiments, a plausible mechanism and characterization of products including XRD are described. Synthetic transformation for bis(N-methyl-7-azaindol-3-yl) (phenyl) methanol is achieved by thionation.
